The Commercial Hotel Tragedy

The seaman referred to in an item that
day as being 'hauled I'M with some comIno-
ton at l:30 a.. IN. on Thursday was Thomas
Lundy, whose name figures in that days
Police Court report and who is now in one
of the Station House cells charged with as
sault and battery on Daniel O'Brien and
Samuel Quin. The assault occurred in the
Commercial Saloon, where the prisoner at
tackled Qulu and U Brien successfully with a
knife. The first named victim was badly
gashed across the head and face Lundy was
captured on the esplanade by Captain Tell
and officers Kahawai, Waipa, Pinehao and
Puaahiwa. He appeared to have been at
tempting an escape by swimming out to his
ship, the Mohlcan, his clothes being wet
when he was taken.
Quin had a cut on the left side of his face
across the cheekbone to the edge of the ear,
a superficial cut over the right eve and
small cut in the edge of the hair.
O'Brien had deep cash through all the
tissues from the forehead across the temple
and continuing across the right ear, cutting
it in two and extending about an inch behind
the ear. The incision looked more like that
of sabre wound than anything else. 1t was
evidently placed with very sharp knife and
blow directed with considerable force. A
long superficial cut across the forehead and
small one about an inch and half long
over the left eyebrow completed the list of
O'Brien's gashes.
All were taken to the Police Station. Dr.
Rodgers was telephoned and arrived in a few
minutes. also DR.. Trousseau who was on
the spot few minutes later.
II was Mt once decided to have the men re-
moved to the Hospital.
Quin was able to walk and O'Brien was
brought along on stretcher when the two
doctors named dressed their wounds and left
them about one o'clock a. m.
Quin was able to 90 off to the ship that
day, while the other man remains in the
Hospital and is doing as well as can be ex-
pected.

| Honolulu. The crnameutations of the whole

and by four chandeliers of electric arc lamps,

Thus the whole picture was goroeously lit
up and realized view of some scene III the
Oriental dreams, bringing in all the modern
nations. Mrs. Boardman, president of the
decoration committee, deserves, together
with the ladies and gentlemen who assisted
her, all the compliments of the community,
who responded with great enthusiasm. The
hall was well filed during both the day and
the night, and the proceeds of the entrance
alone came to 1892.
In all the fair realized total amount Of
S2,S01 70, which includes 1888 90 of dona-
tions. At the present time the bills of ex-
penditure not being all in, it is not possible
to make correct statement of the expenses,
though the net proceeds will certainly lie
handsome and satisfactory to all the kind
ladies' engaged in this charitable under
taking.
If it be added that the fund thus pro-
cured is intended to alleviate the inevitable
sufferings of the widows and orphans, of the
sick and invalid of q colony of poor people,
suddenly thrown In foreign country, all
the persons who kindly contributed by their
work and money, will surely feel that they

more so, when it is remembered that the
Portuguese colony have, on the whole, be-

Before finishing, all due congratulations |
must be presented to the noble lady promo
ter of this splendid charitable festival, Mrs. |
de Souza Ganayarro, to whom the Portu-
guese surely owe lasting debt of gratitude. |

publisher of the GAZETTE, dated San Fran
cisco Oct. 10, says that after pleasant pas
sage on the Sarah Ridgway he landed at
Port townsend on Saturday, September a, a
little over three weeks passage. From that
place he made short stays up the Sound to
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, and thence
by steamer to San Francisco. Mr.. Whitney
says that the result of the Hawaiian elections
gives great satisfaction, and the people of
the Coast appear to now thoroughly under
stand the political situstio in our Kingdom,
and rejoice with US in the establishment of
Government pledged to maintain the honor
and good name of Hawaii, and TO the snp-
preston of the corrupt rule of adventures
and Incompetent men with which we have
been cursed. The San Francisco people
were waiting to hear how England and the
United States take the news from Samoa.
Mr.. Whitney will return home by the Mari
